Lately I wake up with the same tiredness but I don't remember what I was dreaming about. I'm sure I've been dream walking.
I would like to find a way to remember where I went. I would hate to think that I might have invaded someone's dreams without meaning to.
Any help would be appreciated.

The word dream is extremely flexible and is a five letter word attempting to cover and describe multiple phenomenons that occur while we sleep. It's likely that the people whom are dreaming are remaining in the RTZ (Real Time Zone) when they fall asleep and begin to dream. Once you fall asleep you are pretty much in the RTZ until you travel into the astral planes. Some people travel further than others. But the fact that you can't remember this happening indicates to me that it's not necessarily you invading these other people's dreams. It could simply be a mentally constructed wolf that you have created by thinking about taking that form. Our image while we are in the astral and the RTZ is mostly based on our subconscious residual image of ourself, not what we want it to be especially if you're not in a lucid dream. In non-lucid dreams our subconscious has most of the control especially over things like residual image. So you are going to appear as you subconsciously think you look which isn't likely to be a wolf unless you were a wolf in a past life recently. It's more than likely this wolf is either a mentally constructed astral wildlife or a totem animal that is visiting you and since the person seeing it lives in the same house as you they are able to see it as well. For you to visit someone in their "dreams" you are going to have to be in the same phase of sleeping at the exact same time which makes things incredibly difficult. After this happened randomly once it also could likely be the person having the dream is just repeating it subconsciosly through their own thought patterns.
Anyways though you have to work on dream recall and becoming lucid in dreams to remember your dreams. This pretty much brings up the question if a tree fell in the woods and no one was around to hear it would it make a noise? Well if you don't remember your dreams does that mean you didn't dream? There is no way of knowing but I remember dozens of dreams a week, several in each night. It comes naturally to me so I never had to do much work toward dream recall but it appears you would benefit by doing it. You will want to keep a notebook and something to write with with in arm's reach of your bed. As soon as you wake up in the middle of the night from a dream you can remember jot down notes on the dream so that when you wake up in the morning the notes will refresh your memory and you can write the entire dream down. The more you do this the more you will be able to remember in your dreams.
The other way of remembering dreams is working on being able to gain lucidity in dreams. This also comes naturally to me and required no work but for people that aren't naturally able to do this it's recommended that you do reality checks. You will perform these checks during waking hours several times a day until it becomes an automatic action and you will start performing them in your dreams. When the checks yield odd results that couldn't happen in the physical dimension you will know you're dreaming. You will have to find what checks work best for you the one thing that turns my dreams lucid most is flying. I am constantly flying in dreams and I know I can't fly in the physical dimension so it becomes obvious I am dreaming. Some people try breathing since we don't need to breathe in dreams, some people look in mirrors, some people try jumping up in the air and seeing if they fall back down due to gravity, there are countless reality checks. It will be in your best interest to find one that comes naturally to you.
